It’s hard to believe
But it’s almost done
Another trip around the sun
Here’s Memoranda twenty-one

We took extra time to explore
What we want to do so we can offer more
We tried new things to stretch and grow
Update next year on how that goes

Resumed athletic team pursuits
Got on bikes, skis and horses too
All four of us are back in school
You know growth mindset is a family rule

We take a breath
And reflect
When we write this song each year
We think of you and we wish you were here

On California 395
Took our mountain bikes for a hell of a ride
In Switzerland for nearly 6 weeks
Coming home was bittersweet

The van survived Chicago and back
The cousins got together right after that
Threading needles to see family
Working on building community

We had one office and now there’s two
Its got a murphy bed so we can host a few
If Cadmium tours can we crash with you?
There’s nothing we would rather do

We take a breath
And reflect
When we write this song each year
We think of you and we wish you were here

Things move so fast
It can be a blur
We write this song
To remember

And take a breath
